We all have those sentimental items of clothing, that have just gotten worn and worn after years of attention. DIY web site Instructables shows us how to take an old, unwearable T-shirt and turn it into something new.

The general idea isn't that complicated: you just cut out the design from the old T-shirt and sew it onto a new one. However, T-shirt fabric can be very finicky, and if you just start going to town with scissors and a sewing machine you're going to end up disappointed. Thus, this guide recommends adding the "Steam-a-seam 2" fusible webbing and an iron to your arsenal. With it, you can sew the piece of your old T-shirt on to your new one without it getting crumpled and bulky, and keep your new shirt looking a bit nicer.
